I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Have you ever seen Manager Gu pay so much attention to any girl?"

"But he..."

Xiao Ji wanted to say, "Isn't Gu Changfeng just a eunuch? Why would he be tempted?" But after looking at Gu Changfeng's expression, he didn't say it.

Although he didn't know what Gu Changfeng was doing here, they were in the same place and he was alone and weak. If he went against Gu Changfeng, he would definitely end up in trouble.

This Gu Changfeng is a blind man who kills people without thinking, and his power is very huge. At this border, if he wants to attack me, I will definitely not be able to fight back.

The opening banquet lasted for more than an hour before the shop owners left. The county magistrate's wife and her maid also wanted to leave, but Qiao Linxi kept them.

Seeing that Qiao Linxi was too busy, Xiao Ji and the others didn't stay long and left.

Only Gu Changfeng sat calmly at the table. After the children had cleared away the food, he still sat there. The guards following him made him a pot of tea, and he sat there drinking it, looking very comfortable.

Qiao Linxi ignored him and took the county magistrate's wife to the backyard.

"Madam, I saw that you didn't eat anything, so I prepared something for you. How can a person not eat?"

The county magistrate's wife was about to refuse, but Qiao Linxi said, "Don't worry, these meals are very healthy. Not only will they not make you gain weight, but they can also help you lose weight."

The county magistrate's wife looked at the combination of meat and vegetables and swallowed her saliva. She was really hungry.

Qiao Linxi exchanged a plate with the system, which contained a fist of rice, a fist of beef, two fists of vegetable salad, and a glass of milk.

"Madam, don't worry. Come to my place for dinner every day. It won't be long before you become slim and slender."

The county magistrate’s wife didn’t quite believe what Qiao Linxi said. How could she lose weight if she ate so much at every meal?

"Madam, please give it a try. My store is right here. It won't run away, right?"

Before coming, the county magistrate specifically told his wife to build a good relationship with Qiao Linxi. This was the first time he had a good conversation with the county magistrate's wife after he ignored her. The county magistrate's wife was still thinking about how to get close to Qiao Linxi, but she came up to her on her own. That saved a lot of trouble.

"You are a very smart girl, no wonder my master praises you so much."

The county magistrate's wife held Qiao Linxi's hand warmly, as intimate as two sisters.

"Enjoy your meal, ma'am. I have to get busy."

After Qiao Linxi left, the county magistrate's wife looked at her from behind and said to her maid Caiwei, "I thought the master liked her, but now it seems that the master has no feelings for her at all. He probably treats her so highly because of the men around her."

"Madam, this little girl is really capable. She can open a shop with so many brothers and sisters. She is also courageous and dares to get involved in the Qin family's case. It can be seen that she is not an ordinary person. Madam, you might as well get in touch with her more, so that it will be easier for the master to get close to the people around him."

The lady nodded and said, "Well, the master is a man after all. If he gets close to a little girl, people will gossip about him. I like this little girl. She is open and aboveboard with everyone she interacts with, without the shyness of a girl."

"Who says it's not true? Look at her opening, all the people who come are men. If it were someone else, they would have hidden away long ago for fear of gossip."

Qiao Linxi went to the front yard, sent some of the children away, and started cleaning. Qiao Linxi walked around cleaning, while Gu Changfeng still sat there watching her walk around.

Before I finished mopping the floor, the first customer came outside. He was a man carrying a box on his back and looked like a scholar.

"Young master, what would you like to eat?" Qiao Linxi wiped her hands on her apron, walked out and asked him.

The scholar stuck his head into the room and saw the three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were still there. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything.

"Boss, how much is the cheapest vegetarian noodles?"

The scholar was a little embarrassed and grabbed his clothes: "I am going to Beijing to attend the autumn banquet. There are not many dishes, so I want to save some money."

This is also the reason why the scholar specifically took this road, thinking that things should be cheaper in remote places.

"Going to take the exam?"

The scholar nodded: "Yes, this is my exam certificate."

The scholar was afraid that Qiao Linxi would not believe it, so he handed her a note. Qiao Linxi took it and took a look. This was equivalent to the admission ticket of her time.

"Put it away. Since you are a candidate, you can eat it for free."

The scholar quickly refused: "How can that be possible? How can I eat for free?"

Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "You are a scholar, and you are going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. It is not easy for anyone in this environment, and you still have such a long way to go. Besides, you scholars will become the pillars of the country in the future. It's just a bowl of noodles, I can afford it."

As he spoke, Qiao Linxi began to cook noodles. While cooking, he chatted with the scholar, saying that the journey was long and that if he failed the exam in Beijing, he would not lose both his money.

The noodles are prepared in advance, so you just need to cook them in a pot and then cook the side dishes.

"If you fail the exam, you can take it again next year. If you fail, you can take it again. You can't leave any regrets in your life."

The scholar's words made Qiao Linxi laugh: "He is indeed a scholar. He speaks differently when he speaks."

"Thank you for the compliment, boss."

Qiao Linxi: "Why are you being so modest? Come and eat. If you don't have enough, I'll cook. If you have any companions who are also going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, they can all come here to eat for free. But..."

After a pause, Qiao Linxi continued, "I only have one request. When someone does you a favor, you should always say thank you. You are good at reading, so why not write a poem of thanks in exchange?"

"How can that be? Although we scholars may not have high literary talent, a poem is still not a problem. But in this case, boss, aren't you at a loss?"

"Well, it's not a loss." Qiao Linxi shook her head and said, "I'm just an ordinary peasant girl. I haven't seen any poems written by scholars. We have 20 children in our family and we also need to learn. You can keep the poems you wrote and I will let my brothers and sisters read them too."

Scholars are all very proud. After hearing what Qiao Linxi said, the scholar did not refuse. He said "OK", took the noodles, went inside and sat down to eat.

Qiao Linxi originally wanted to ask the scholar to write a thank you and then put his name on it, but then he thought that was too simple, so he decided to write a poem and have other children read it. Firstly, he could let the children learn from it, and secondly, when the children read it, he could also collect some gratitude points, killing two birds with one stone.

After eating the noodles, the scholar praised Qiao Linxi's cooking skills highly and immediately wrote a poem to thank Qiao Linxi.

Qiao Linxi read it once, and her gratitude points were immediately credited to her account, which made her smile.

"Boss Qiao, you like to hear people thank you so much, so how about we have hundreds of people come to thank you every day?"
